About Willung
Willung is a quiet rural locality in the Wellington Shire of Victoria, situated in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges in central Gippsland, approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Traralgon and around 200 kilometres east of Melbourne. With a small population of 77 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, the locality covers a broad area of 76 square kilometres characterised by undulating farmland, river flats, and scattered bush. The community is predominantly agricultural, with properties focused on grazing, dairy, and mixed farming taking advantage of the area's productive soils and reliable rainfall.
Willung offers a genuinely rural lifestyle far removed from suburban density, appealing to those who value open space, working land, and the slower pace of country Gippsland. The nearest service centres are Heyfield and Rosedale to the south and Traralgon to the north-west, where residents access schools, supermarkets, and healthcare. The surrounding Gippsland countryside provides opportunities for fishing, trail riding, and exploring the broader national parks and state forests of the region. This is a locality for those seeking farming land or a peaceful rural retreat with access to the Gippsland highway network.
Willung falls under postcode 3847 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
